Lots of rhetoric, little action

Pros

3 weeks of vacation (4 weeks after 7 years) and separate sick time. Local management will go to bat for you

Cons

Huge disconnect between front line employees and executives They'll do whatever they can to avoid paying out commissions (they aim for an 80% payout) The better an employee you are, the harder it is to make your goals No career advancement opportunities unless you are willing to move to Denver Every email announcement spouts how valued employees are, but there are no actions to match this sentiment

Pros

This is tough to come up with. The pay is good as are the benefits, although the benefits contract each year. Denver is a nice place to live.

Cons

The only plan management has to react to market share loss and declining profitability is cut, cut, cut. Lower level management treats employees well, but the CEO is a ranter and raver and that style is rubbing off on the rest of senior management. There is no leadership or long term plan.

Pros

They have a sabbatical program.

Cons

The management doesn't know what they are doing. They make poor decisions. They don't treat their employees very well. Too many lay offs.
